“…Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a popular energy source around the world. Its applications are numerous and cover the demand for domestic energy, trade, agriculture, industry but also transport [1,2,3]. Although it is a fossil fuel, it is classified in the category of clean fuels because of its low environmental impact [4,5,6,7].…”

This work concerns the energy efficiency study and analysis of a gas roasting oven developed by a local craftsman. The oven energy efficiency was determined by the Water Boiling Test (WBT) method. The temperatures of the walls as well as the ambient temperature were recorded to evaluate the heat losses by convection towards the environment. The energy balance of the oven then allows to calculate the heat losses from the fumes. The results show that the heat losses by fumes through the chimney are the greatest (50% of the energy consumed). Losses through the walls are relatively low (15%). The oven efficiency is around 35%, which is relatively low. These results show that optimization work must be carried out in order to improve the energy efficiency of the equipment.

“…In future planning, electrification can also be applied not only to private cars but road public transport such as electric buses. Apart from electricity, biofuels, gaseous fuels, alcohols and ethers can be the alternative energy sources to reduce the carbon emission and air pollution than the traditional sources of diesel and petroleum (Li & Loo, 2014). Second, enhancing fuel efficiency (measured in terms of fuel used per kilometer driven) is also necessary to maximize the efficacy of energy consumption and reduce carbon emissions.…”

In this paper, a holistic strategy of the “Five Transformations” is introduced to offer a comprehensive and synergetic theory to tackle various daunting challenges faced by the transport sector and ultimately pave the way to sustainable transport. The Five Transformations span across city development, the economy, vehicle technology, modal-split and lifestyles at various geographical scales. Building on the current literature and empirical evidence, this paper advocates for fundamental changes in all aspects of the society beyond transportation. To move forward, this paper scrutinizes the association between land-use planning and the Five Transformations. It is clear that land-use policies are important drivers in implementing and reinforcing the policy instruments under the Five Transformations.

Integrated Approach for the Assessment of Strategies for the Decarbonization of Urban Traffic

This paper presents a new methodology to derive and analyze strategies for a fully decarbonized urban transport system which combines conceptual vehicle design, a large-scale agent-based transport simulation, operational cost analysis, and life cycle assessment for a complete urban region. The holistic approach evaluates technical feasibility, system cost, energy demand, transportation time, and sustainability-related impacts of various decarbonization strategies. In contrast to previous work, the consequences of a transformation to fully decarbonized transport system scenarios are quantified across all traffic segments, considering procurement, operation, and disposal. The methodology can be applied to arbitrary regions and transport systems. Here, the metropolitan region of Berlin is chosen as a demonstration case. The first results are shown for a complete conversion of all traffic segments from conventional propulsion technology to battery electric vehicles. The transition of private individual traffic is analyzed regarding technical feasibility, energy demand and environmental impact. Commercial goods, municipal traffic and public transport are analyzed with respect to system cost and environmental impacts. We can show a feasible transition path for all cases with substantially lower greenhouse gas emissions. Based on current technologies and today’s cost structures our simulation shows a moderate increase in total systems cost of 13–18%.
